Millwall manager Alex Neil has warned clubs interested in Femi Azeez that the winger will not be sold on the cheap.
Azeez has reportedly attracted interest from Premier League newcomers Hull City, as well as a number of clubs across Europe.
The Lions rejected offers for the Nigeria international from Ipswich Town in January.
The 25-year-old joined Millwall from Reading for just over £1 million in the summer of 2024.
Millwall are now reportedly demanding around €20 million for Azeez amid growing interest in his services.
Neil On Femi Azeez
Neil admitted he is not surprised by the attention surrounding the winger following his impressive performances in the Sky Bet Championship last season.
“When the window’s open I don’t think we ever get distracted. Good players attract interest, it’s as simple as that,” Neil told NewsAtDen.
“It’s no secret that in January Femi had interest and bids made for him. Jimmy, supporting the team, the club, myself, decided he wasn’t taking any bids for any of our key players at that moment, which was great. It allowed us to then go finish third and Femi was a fundamental part of that.

“But like every player, every player’s got their price.
“What I will say is that if anybody is trying to undercut us or go cheap on it, then we don’t need to sell anybody. It puts us in a strong position in that sense.”
Neil added: “I’m surprised, honestly, that there’s not been a bit of an auction on Femi to this point. You buy goals and assists, and Femi has been as good as anybody in the last season or two at this level.
“Let’s see what the next few weeks bring.”
Azeez scored 11 goals and registered eight assists in the Championship last season.
He was also named in the Championship Team of the Season.
